Josh Gordon 'not under active consideration' to return to NFL

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell visited Cleveland to meet with a selected panel of season-ticket holders as part of a fan forum. When a fan asked Goodell about the status of any potential reinstatement of troubled Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, the man ultimately responsible for approving any return put the kibosh on any hope.

As reported by Pat McManamon of ESPN Cleveland, Goodell’s blunt response was Gordon’s potential reinstatement is “not under active consideration.” The commissioner continued by noting, “At least it hasn’t gotten to my desk yet.”

Since earning All-Pro status in the 2013 season and leading the league in receiving yards, Gordon has played just five games. He has missed the last two full seasons under suspension. The ex-Baylor standout voluntarily abandoned his last comeback bid in 2016 by leaving the Browns to enter a rehabilitation program.
